You know, I remember my first meeting. The President of the chapter told the lot of us Newbies. If you don't make one call right, during your first night out, make sure you know your mechanics. The calls will come. It's a lot different looking at the game from an officials perspective. Don't let it get you down.
My worst call as a newbie. Freshman boys game. I'm lead, under the basket and a 3 point shot is up and I thought it went in. The defense grabbed it and started up the court. I blew the whistle and called a violation for not inbounding the ball. I think every person in the gym fell silent and looked at me. My co-official came over and told me, the basket didn't go in. Talk about wanting to catch a plane....
